This book is probably the most beloved children's book with a Florida setting. In September 2007 ADDALL, the booksearch service, published their list of the most searched for books. The Lion's Paw was again that year the most searched for children's book. Sixty-one out of sixty-two reviewers on Amazon in 2008 give it five out of five stars. The other one admitted he hadn't read the book and wondered what all the fuss was about. |
